Chinese Bodywork for Clinical Practice 2017 Beijing

Chinese Bodywork for Clinical Practice: A Five Module Training Program. Attendance in this advanced training program requires completion of the prerequisite seminar “Tangible Qi in the Clinic”.

The greatest force in healing is touch. The ancient Chinese realized this, using medical theory and clinical experience to develop touch into the highest healing art within the field of Chinese medicine. The usefulness of a sword depends on the warrior’s handskill; the efficacy of a needle depends on the practitioner’s skill of touch. To treat internal diseases or external injuries without deeply training the hands is to be overly optimistic of ones clinical results. This five module training program provides the same bodywork foundation that Andrew Nugent-Head learned in China, set sequentially in the way he learned over his years training there. It is, in his opinion, the most important piece of practicing tangible, effective and reliable medicine. Taught by Andrew Nugent-Head

Module 01: Daoist Zangfu Acupressure – March 25-26, 2017
Focused on regulating the Qi flow in the organs of the body cavity, Daoist Zangfu Acupressure is a powerful bodywork treatment method to return fundamental health to very sick patients. Originally passed on by a wandering Daoist, it was nearly lost in the Cultural Revolution. Today, there are only a handful of people focused on using this incredible bodywork system in the clinic. It was the first clinical treatment method learned by Andrew Nugent-Head, taught to him by the late Professor Wang Jin-Huai.

Module 05: Deep Qi Protocol – October 07-08, 2017
Using Deep Qi work only, the final module introduces the skills to address the intangible yet most fundamental Qi of sickness and health, which is the Yuan Qi. It focuses on understanding what we must tangibly do to get to and awaken the Yuan Qi when working with the chronically, systemically or terminally ill. Candid discussions on the possibilities of spontaneous healing, giving quality of life through the dying process, the successes and failures of both Chinese and allopathic medicine, and practitioner maturity are balanced by learning and practicing a protocol sequence for awakening the Yuan Qi as well as adapting it to redressing physical and emotional imbalances.
